BRUCE PRICE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

PASSENGER-CAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 335,770, dated February9. 1886.

Application filed December 9, 1884. Serial No. 149, 58. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, BRUCE PRICE, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented new and useful Improvements in Passenger-Cars forRailways, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention relates to certain improvements in the construction ofrailway passenger-cars; and the invention consists, principally, informing bay-windows at the sides of the car.

The invention also consists in forming recesses or coves above thewindows, to which fenders or baskets are applied for receiving andholding parcels, 8w.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional plan view of the body of a parlor-car made inaccordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional plan viewof one of the side walls of the car. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the innersurface of a part of one of the walls of the car, showing one of therecesses or coves and fenders or baskets constituting the receptacle forparcels above the windows; and Fig. 4 is an enlarged trans versesectional elevation of the car, taken on the line a a: of Fig. 1.

In forming the side walls of the car I so construct the frame-work thatall or a part of the windows are set at an angle, forming baywindows,which come by preference between the seats of the car.

In constructing the frame of the car I prefer to employ the posts A Aand B B, and to set the posts B B in toward the interior of the car fromthe line of the posts A A. Between each pair of posts A A are fitted thewindows 0; or a solid panel might be used in place of the windows G, ifdesired. Between the posts B and the edges of the posts A adjacent tothe posts B are fitted the windows D D, which are held, owing to therelative arrangement of the posts A B, at an angle to the windows 0,thus forming curved or bay windows, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Above thewindows 0 D the car is sheathed upon theinside with the sheathing Eagainst the edges'of the posts B B. This sheathing is by preferencevertically curved, as shown in Fig. 4, and is cutaway to receive or topermit the recesses or coves F to be formed in the spaces G over thewindows 0. In front of the recesses or coves F are secured fenders orbaskets H,w hich, together with the recesses F, form the baskets orreceptacles for packages, 800. By thus utilizing the spaces G the package-receptacles do not set out from the walls, as in ordinary cars, anddo not therefore disfigure the appearance of the car; and by set tingthe windows at angles, as shown and described, the passengers in the carare enabled to look forward or backward from the car, and the forwardwindow of each pair of diagonal windows forms a (lust-guard to thediagonal window next in rear, so that the latter may be kept openwithout discomfort from dust while the train is in motion.

Having thus described my invent-ion, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. A passenger-car having the diagonally placedwindows D and intermediate windows or panels, 0, forming curved or baywindows, substantially as described.

2. In the frame of a car, the posts B, set out of line with the posts Aand sheathed upon the inside against the post B, thus forming the spacesG for receiving the recesses or coves F, substantially as and for thepurposes set forth.

3. The coves or recesses F, set in the wall of the car, substantially asshown and described.

4. The recesses or coves F, set in the wall of the car, in combinationwith the fenders or baskets H, arranged substantially as and for thepurposes set forth.

BRUCE PRICE.
